To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, EDWIN GLANVIL LANG- TON, a subject of His Ma'esty the King of Great'Britain and Ireland, and residing at 5 Queen street, Masterton, in the provincial district of Wellington, in the Colony of New Zealand, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toilet Combs, of which the fol owing is aspecification.

Accor ing ereto each tooth is madeseparately and has a dovetail shaped root and a bolt hole. The teeth are placed upon a bolt passing through the said hole, and clamped together by a nut threaded upon a screwed end of the bolt. The back has a dovetail groove. into. which the roots of the-teeth fit. A ca'p closes the end of the .back after the placed in position. The ca is fitted tightly upon the back, or is secured by extending the bolt through the cap and providing a second nut, which may enter a recess formed in the cap.
